SAN FRANCISCO (CBS / AP) — San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Michale Crabtree will not be charged for an alleged sexual assault, according to a statement issued by the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office on Friday evening.

Earlier this month a woman had accused Crabtree of assaulting her at the W Hotel in downtown San Francisco, but police had been struggling to find evidence against him.

District Attorney George Gascon’s statement read simply: “Following a review of all the evidence, my office has determined that no charges will be filed against Michael Crabtree at this time.
